They're both white -- I'll give you that.
What I was thinking of more when I said similar in design was the way that the AirPort Express simply hangs on a wall, no desk or shelf shape required, with the bare minimum of cables. By the same token, I'd like to have a small amp and/or speakers that could hang/be mounted on the wall and deliver music into the room via AirTunes -- without an octopus of cables and without having to dedicate an entire tabletop to it (audio should be heard and not seen.)
Well, that would be great, but there are way too many variations of audio equipment for people with all kinds of tastes to make for a worthwhile market. Whereas I might think it's silly to have more than a 100W stereo amp others would consider that pathetic.
If Apple could pack a 100W+ amp into something that hangs off a power outlet, more power to them. I was thinking more along the lines of 5-10W, or just enough to power some wall mounted speakers. That said, [these speakers|http://store.apple.com/us/product/TU902VC/A?fnode=MTY1NDA1NA&mco=Mjc4M jI1MQ] look somewhat promising. It looks like they could be powered off the USB on the AEX, so at least no power brick. Unfortunately, they don't look geared to wall mounting, and who knows what the audio cable connections look like (because the ad deceptively photoshopped them out of the picture.)
The Express's low power analog output, plus optical, not to mention an Ethernet port, router, bridge, a/b/g/n wireless access point and USB printer port in such a tiny package with a self-contained power supply is a such a generalist's piece of connectivity I can't imagine asking for anything more.
It is a pretty impressive package. But, I'm still asking for GigE in the next rev.

  • Can anyone recommend and mouse to use with Aperture?

    Hi ,
    I have been using the Apple Mighty mouse with my iMac and am looking for a replacement. I have a lot of trouble using the right click on the mouse and am fed-up with it.
    I want something bluetooth that will not take up one of my USB ports. I have set the third button to expose all windows as I frequently switch between applications and I like this function with the big screen I have.
    Aperture and Photoshop are my main applications so I’m looking for something that is going integrate with those well. I want to be able to zoom and scroll around pictures with ease.
    Does anyone have any recommendations?

    I am using a Logitech VX Revolution, actually a wireless notebook mouse but I have small hands, so prefer the smaller size over a regular size.
    Apart from the size (which is an individual feature and there is a normal sized version called MX Revolution) it should fit most of your needs. It has six buttons a four way scroll function and a zoom slider. Using the Steermouse 3rd party mouse driver (Logitech's one is known to cause problems) you can individually set all buttons and functions of the mouse systemwide and for specific applications. Speed and accuracy is more than sufficient for my needs.
    Only thing is that it uses a proprietary wireless dongle, so you still lose one of your USB ports.
    Microsoft also produces good mice (imho their hardware is a lot better than their software , even some with real BT support (they still come with a dongle but you don't have to use it). However, from what I've heard, sometimes it can be a little bit tricky to get them to work with Mac OS X.
    Bye,

  • Can anyone recommend a free file uploader with progress bar?

    Can anyone recommend a free file uploader with progress bar?
    I have searched google but with no luck.
    Ideally it would be a DW extension but that might be wishing
    for too much.
    I would like a large file limit for video and multiple file
    extensions allowed.
    Thanks in advance

    Heya,
    Check out this due Waleed he has some nice tuts and here's
    a
    link
    to file upload with progress bar tutorial he has. Granted it
    looks like it's just an animated gif letting users know their file
    is uploading; if you want realtime upload information displayed for
    the user you're gonna have to look at something like Flash with the
    power of actionscript to achieve that result.
    Hope that helps!

  • Can anyone recommend good speakers for Zen mic

    HI,
    I have a zen micro and want to hook it up to good speakers to listen while in my bedroom. I know creative has a lot of speakers and I'm not sure what is good for the zen micro?
    how many watts is considered good? I see that some of the creative speakers have bi-amplification and some don't...what is that and would it be good for my zen micro? I'm a newbie about speakers and don't know anything... pls help.......
    Thanks

    In terms of portable speakers I use Creative's Playdock, albeit with my Nomad Jukebox 3. It will still work with the Micro, but it won't charge it and doesn't have a specific glove. The sound from the Playdock is great though. I also hear that Creative's Travelsounds are very good.
    I also use my digital audio players with a standard Pioneer home cinema system, and a partially upgraded home cinema system with Sony amp and Mission speakers.

  • Can anyone recommend a wireless bridge?

    I would like to get one as it takes out the hassle of drivers for wireless and means I'll get better signal quality as it doesn't have to be right next to my PC.
    Can anyone recommend one that works well with linux? (so using a web browser to configure the connection) and working with WPA would be a bonus.
    I'm in the UK if that helps.

    The iPod Touch only uses b/g wireless standards, so you can use any wireless-g router. Since Wireless-N is the next standard, you can usually get a Wireless-G at an economical price. G is an older standard and quite sturdy. Linksys would be a good choice for you since you are already using one from that company. Just swap it out with your existing router. Special note: if you do go wireless, be sure to shut off the wireless on your iPod Touch when not using it; drains the battery.

  • Can anyone recommend cloud storage that I can use with my AppleTV?

    I'm looking to get 2TB for my music and films can anyone recommend one that I can use with my AppleTV? Preferably with cloud too.

    Thanks Rudegar
    Apparently there is a way of doing it using the WD live book (which i know is not technoically cloud but that is what WD refer to it as). As you have said it can stream from iTunes, but if you store your movie file on your network drive and point iTunes at it, it will work. Apparently its easy, file / add file to library - then navigate to the folder location via the file path.
    I'll be trying this as soon as a test unit gets here and I'll update you.

    Pair a wireless KB with the laptop and all should be well when you attach the laptop to the iMac and invoke TDM. But as Denny mentions, it does seem like the waste of a good iMac to use it in just this configuration. Why is the laptop primary?

  • Is there a way to get the calculator from the dashboard to appear along with other programs?  Can anyone recommend a calculator which will work as a stand alone app?

    AS it stands now, in order to use the calculator that comes with the Dashboard, you cannot read from a list of numbers in, lets say, word or excel. The dashboard is full screen and nothing can stand along side it. Is there a way to get the calculator from the dashboard to appear along with other programs?  Can anyone recommend a calculator which will work as a stand alone app?

    there is one, just search with spotlight "Calculator".
    It works great!
    Hope this helps.

  • Can anyone recommend a good tutorial on how to use pre-designed website templates in Dreamweaver? Thks

    I am fairly new to Dreamweaver (cs6), having previously designed and maintained a few sites using Freeway. I purchased a template from TemplateMonster.com in the hope that this would simplify the creation of a new site. The template came without any instructions other than how to unzip the file. Their helpline really isn't helpful at all. Can anyone recommend an online tutorial on how to use a predesigned template? Lynda.com doesn't have one. Thanks!

    Mike,
    I was successful, in a test I just conducted, to get Siri to record your problem statement in a Note file on the iPod as I used the Edit > Speech feature in Safari to play the text. I don't see why dictation wouldn't work as well. Why not give it a try?
    If you don't have an iOS device to try this with, you could write your audio file to a CD and use an external player to get audio to the Mac.

  • Can anyone recommend a good UPK library structure for Oracle financials 11.5.10.2 (using UPK 11.1)?

    Hi, Can anyone recommend a good UPK library structure for Oracle financials 11.5.10.2 (using UPK 11.1) please?

    If you are using the application server that comes with Oracle Applications - you probably need to use the JDeveloper version that comes with that one too. (The OAF forum will have more info on this).
    If you are using JDeveloper 10.1.3 then you can use a stand alone OC4J 10.1.3 to deploy your applications - and save yourself the hassle of messing up with your apps server.
